The purpose of the study was to develop a simple prediction model for stress fractures (SF) in young male recruits in order to identify risk factors for SF. Data were collected from 57 young (18.5±0.5yrs) males prior to elite combat basic training (BT). Measurements included anthropometric variables, blood samples, fitness tests, bone quality (pQCT), psychological assessment, nutritional habits, and history of physical activity. A medical evaluation was done periodically. Moran DS, Finestone A, Arbel Y, Shabshin N, Laor A. J Strength Cond Res. 2011 Nov 4. [Epub ahead of print] PMID: 22067250
